"They had the shower on to muffle the noise, but
it wasn't helping. They never screamed like that when we were humiliating. But this
guy was like screaming bloody murder. I mean it still haunts me... I can still
hear it just like it happened yesterday." -- Lynndie England, describing
what Bush is doing in our name, with our tax dollars, Link

Excerpt:(The offenses of DeLay and Rove) represent potential
felonies, but they pale beside new allegationslinking business associates of star GOP lobbyist Jack
Abramoff - an ally of both DeLay and Rove - to the gangland-style murder of casino owner Konstantinos
"Gus" Boulis
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 2001.

These criminal cases also are reminders of George H.W.
Bush's long record of unsavory associations,including with a Nicaraguan contra network permeated
by cocaine traffickers, Rev. Sun Myung Moon'smulti-million-dollar money-laundering operations, and
anti-communist Cuban extremists tied to acts ofinternational terrorism. [For details on these cases,
see Robert Parry's Secrecy & Privilege.]

Now, George W. Bush is faced with his own challenge
of containing a rupture of scandals - involvingprominent conservatives Abramoff, DeLay and potentially
Rove - that have bubbled to the surfaceand are beginning to flow toward the White House.

Excerpt:Some of Bush's fascist supporters are unconvinced by
his defense of Harriet Miers,creating dissension in the GOP that until now has reverently
approved Bush's judicial candidates.

Conservatives in some cases are expressing outright
opposition, some are in wait-and-see modeand some are silent, all bad signs for a Bush administration
used to having the full backing of allwings of the GOP when it takes on the Senate's minority
Democrats over judicial selection.

"I'm getting reports on both sides," said Paul Weyrich,
(In red, above) a leader from the KKK."Some people are quite enthused about her and other people
are very upset. The grass-rootsare not happy, I can tell you that."

This conclusion will come as no surprise to those who
have long gnashed their teeth in frustration whilelistening to right-wing evangelical claims that secular
liberals are weak on "values." Paul's study confirmsglobally what is already evident in the U.S.: When it
comes to "values," if you look at facts rather thanmere rhetoric, the substantially more secular blue states
routinely leave the Bible Belt red states in the dust.

Murder rates? Six of the seven states with the highest
2003 homicide rates were "red" in the 2004elections (Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia,
South Carolina), while the deep blueNortheastern states had murder rates well below the national
average. Infant mortality rates?Highest in the South and Southwest; lowest in New England.
Divorce rates? Marriages break upfar more in red states than in blue. Teen pregnancy
rates? The same.

We talked about this concerning Vegas. Since "call girls" are legal
there, the Vegas crime rate should be
compared to other cities. If they have fewer rapes, less spousal abuse, etc.
then the facts tell us prostituion
should be legalized in every large American city - but only if you want
the crime rate to come down.

But in America, we'd rather lie to ourselves.
We'd rather believe the Invisible Cloud Being has an angel on our shoulder,
so there's no need to adhere
to science and logic and we're paying the price for it with Bush, God's hand-picked
Invader of Countries.

I'm concerned about Bush's pick of Harriet Ellan Miers
for the Supreme Court because shehas never been a judge. Bush seems to want to pick his
personal friends for high positionsinstead of people who are experienced an competent.

Why pick someone to be a judge on the Supreme Court
who has never been a judge?That makes as much sense as Michael Brown being picked
to be head of FEMA- and we know how that turned out.

"That's right,
I said I'm a hooker.
I have to go up to total strangers, ask them for money and get them to expect me
to be there when they need me. What does that sound like to you?" --Rep.
Ginny Brown-Waite (R-FL), flashing a little honest, for a Republican Link

You need a Chiminea? Go down the block and haul
off an abandoned washing machine.Hit it with a cinder block or lug wrench until the basket
comes out.The kind with holes in the sides. Enamel
over steel. Recycle it before it gets crushed.Put the basket up on a few rocks and fill it with sticks,
mill ends and pizza boxes.Light and be happy.

If it sparks up, put a screen window over it and when
that burns through get somehardware cloth from a real hardware store. That's
a Chiminea, Arizona style.We got 'em in California too.

Excerpt:On its front page Tuesday, The New York Times published
a photo Harriet Miersgoing over a briefing paper with Bush at his fake ranch
"in August 2001," the caption reads.

USA Today and the Boston Globe carried the photo labeled
simply "2001," but many othernewspapers ran the picture in print or on the Web with
a more precise date: Aug. 6, 2001.

Sidebar:The NYWTimes and the USAWhoreToday and
the Boston Whore exist to protect Bush.There are not news organizations - they are whores
for sale.Heidi Fliess had prettier rentals, but the por-Bush papers
exist to protect his deserter ass.

Does that date sound familiar?That was a month before 9/11, when Bush was briefed
on the "PDB" that said Osamawas "determined" to attack inside the U.S.,
perhaps with hijacked planes. But does thatmean that Miers had anything to do with that briefing?

No, the press always gives the Bush co-conspirators
the benifit of the doubt.

No way a women who said, "Dubya
is the most brilliant man I've ever known,"would ever try to cover up for his monkey-simpleton
mistakes or his outright crimes,just because he was appointing her
to one of the most powerful positions on the planet.

With the BFEE, it's always "appointed
by those with bad intent,"and never "elected
by the will of the majority of people."

Excerpt:The Republican Party and the Bush Administration are
reeling, enmeshed in corruption and failure,and the ideology of the regressive right is in retreat.
The iron is hot - now is the time to strike.

Unfortunately, it appears that the Democratic Party
would prefer to throw cold water on the hot iron.What in the name of God and the US Constitution has neutered
the Democrats?"

Victory is ours for the taking - we just don't want it.
If victory knocks on a Democrat's door, they might let it in,
but they damn sure won't look for it or work for it or even entertain the thought
of reaching for it.

Don't tell me "They're all on the same team."
The BFEE spends millions every year demonizing their "partners."

Here's a post on some information forwarded to me by Larry
Zilliox.If you read the quotes from the Kodiak article and the
1990 NBC transcript, I think you cankind of add to the wonderment of why anyone would think
that anything Moon does is not tiedto plans for the planet. Also, given that this was 1990,
the transcript explains why TV won't do Moon.

MW, this is why I need a staff.
I know Bush is crooked, I know Moon is crooked.

I've seen pictures of Bush presiding at those 20,000 couple weddings in stadiums,
and what kind of American family values is having a religiously-insane Korean
with
delusions of godhood marry you and 19,999 other couples at the same Moondamn
time?

Bart, can we be so damn stupid all of the time?He nominated her because she has NO written record.She thinks that he is the most intelligent man she
has ever met?

Call me stupid but, he is setting the pink tutu democrats
up AGAIN.When are these people going to get a clue?What happened to dissent in this country?She is as right wing as Bush it just can not be proven.Get some guts Democrats and look at the facts.When has this guy EVER done anything Bi-partisan?Sheesh Bart this calls for a shot.

"This guy will do what he wants. If he wants to pick
a flunky, passing over dozens of more experienced jurists more acceptable
to his base, that's what he'll do." --Andrew
Sullivan, deeply hurt by his favorite Monkey Link

Excerpt:The Bush Court will revisit the emotionally charged
issue of physician-assisted suicidein a test of how intrusive Bush's overbearing federal
government can be in our daily lives.

Oregon voters chose that option, and now Bush's BIG
federal nanny will overrule them.Oregon voters have twice endorsed doctor-assisted suicide,
but the religiously-insaneBush administration thinks you need more government and
more rules so they haveaggressively challenged the state law to keep you in
pain to please their vengeful God.

In 1997 the court found that the terminally ill have
no constitutional right to doctor-assisted suicide.O'Connor provided a key fifth vote in that decision,
which left room for state-by-state experimentation.

O'Connor is retiring, and Bush on Monday named his religiously-insane
personal lawyer to replace her.If Miers is confirmed before a ruling is announced,
O'Connor's vote will not count.A 4-4 tie would probably require the court to schedule
a new argument session.

Excerpt: Speaking of Dick DeGuerin, he is defending Tom
DeLay. Want to know how good he is?One of his recent clients was Robert Durst, heir to a
New York real estate fortune, whoadmitted killing and dismembering an unfortunate vic
in Galveston. Durst was a suspect ina California killing at the time and had moved to Galveston posing
as a deaf-mute woman.

Durst jumped bail on the Galveston charge and was arrested
in Pennsylvania for stealing achicken sandwich while carrying two guns and $38,000.
DeGuerin got him acquitted on themurder charge on the grounds of self-defense, but they
nailed him for the guns and tamperingwith evidence -- that would be dismembering the corpse.
They let him slide on the chickensandwich charge. I swear, I'm not making up any of this. That's how
good Dick DeGuerin is.

If I were fool enough to give DeGuerin advice, it would
be, "Don't let DeLay on the stand."The man just can't help himself -- he's just too mean,
he always pushes it that step too far.

Excerpt:In case anyone thought Harriet Miers wasn't a corporate-shill-in-White-House-clothing,take a gander at how Miers did her best Ken Lay impression
while heading a major Texascorporate law firm. That's right, according to the 5/1/00 Class
Action Reporter, Miers headedLocke, Liddell & Sapp at the time the
firm was forced to pay $22 million tosettle
a suit asserting that "it aided a client in defrauding investors."

Excerpt:Bono and Bob Geldof are considered contenders for this
year's Nobel Peace Prizewhich will be announced this Friday in Norway. They are
being recognized for theirefforts in getting G8 leaders to increase aid to African
countries.

In other Bono news, U2 are slated to appear on Conan
O'Brien on Thursday.It will be the first time the entire show is dedicated
to one guest only.They are set to perform at least three songs and may
also be in some skits.

Bono, if you win that, I'll buy you a shot of Chinaco at the Pink
Taco.
